The effects of the addition of small amounts of Ti on the phase constitution, microstructure, and wear resistance of Fe-B-C hypereutectic overlays produced using powder-wire composite arc welding were investigated. The Fe-B-C hypereutectic overlay phase consisted of TiB 2 and TiC in addition to Fe and Fe 2 B with the addition of Ti. The addition of Ti inhibited growth of the Fe 2 B and Fe 3 (C,B) phases. When the Ti content reached 0.918 mass%, the daisy-like Fe 3 (C,B) phases disappeared, and precipitation of dispersed TiB 2 and TiC began, which improved the wear resistance. Overlays without macroscopic cracks could be obtained. The wear mode of the Fe-B-C hypereutectic overlay changed from a mixture of microcutting and microfracture wear to microcutting wear.
